As the conversation reached this point, the atmosphere seemed somewhat awkward.
Sister Lin slightly curved her lips, with a faint smile. To be honest, she didn't care much for these insubstantial pleasantries, but maintaining politeness was necessary for face. She continued speaking to Li Xian:
"President Li, you're being too polite! We're old acquaintances, and this isn't the first time we've collaborated, so there's really no need to be so formal! Moreover, Lingfeng couldn't host you in person, and he feels quite sorry for that. So, he specially invited his best friend in S City to host you on his behalf. He instructed me that you absolutely must enjoy yourself tonight, and when he feels a bit better tomorrow, he will definitely invite you out again!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xian raised an eyebrow slightly, "Oh? The best friend in S City?"
"Yes!"
